about us NW Lifestyle Homes creates custom homes for everyday joy and livability. We are an integrated practice of architectural design and masterful building. Our one-of-a-kind homes are thoughtfully developed in our design studio with the client’s specific wishes, and they embody the unique way in which each client lives. "Working with NW Lifestyle Homes was a chance of a lifetime. We downsized into a downtown Bellevue condominium that required significant updating. With a tight budget, we embarked on this adventure with Mike, Megan, Meg, Kevin, and Mason. From storage ideas to design, they completely remodeled our condo into a beautiful, comfortable, and functional home. We are so pleased with the results. The quality of work is amazing and the budget was reasonable. In fact, we ended up under budget! Thank you to this remarkable and talented team." lynne robinson + dan watson we value livability “Livability” is the suitability of a place for positive human experience. At NW Lifestyle Homes, we build our houses to maximize “livability.” A “livable” home is functional, adaptable, comfortable, and fun. Many new homes are beautiful to look at, but not all are truly livable. The livability of a NW Lifestyle Home is often not fully appreciated until you - well - live in it. A livable NW Lifestyle Home, with its combination of private and public spaces and flexible rooms that can be used for many purposes, adapts with you through all of life’s changes. The most important endpoint in designing a livable home is to make it comfortable and fun. Comfort follows from functionality and adaptability, but it is enhanced by details that please your senses. Abundant natural light and air, aesthetically pleasing architectural features, textures and colors, generous and well-scaled spaces, and outdoor living areas which maximize sun exposure all work together to make you want to come home to your NW Lifestyle Home. See Our Work meet the team Founder + Visionary michael burke Michael Burke is the dreamer and visionary for NW Lifestyle Homes.

With that foundation, Mason has been building homes and delighting homeowners for the last 20 years. Off the jobsite, Mason can be found floating in Neah Bay chasing Chinook and telling stories about the one that got away. mason@mawerbrothers.com Lead Designer matt mawer As interpreter of Michael's vision, Matthew Mawer embraces the idea for each project, adds his own unique style, and crafts original home designs for NWLH. Together, Matt and Michael test boundaries and create a new normal for residential design and livability in the northwest. In addition to being fluent in Michael-ese, Matt has 20 years of architectural design experience, a B.Arch. from Washington State University and a horribly misguided belief of one day joining the professional golf tour. matt@nwlifestylehomes.com Design C oordinator meg zook Meg Zook comes to NWLH with a great eye and a plethora of experiences in the design world.
